Anavelis, whose then-six-year-old daughter, Genesis, was taken from her in 2018 after the duo crossed into the United States, said, “When I got there it became hell, a nightmare that has been tormenting me all these years.”
Anavelis was deported back to Honduras without her daughter. Several years later, many families separated under Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy had been reunited, but hundreds of children, like Genesis, were still in the U.S. waiting for their parents to be allowed to return.
This documentary chronicles Anavelis’ quest to reunite with Genesis and offers insight into the work of a Biden administration task force charged with reuniting families like theirs.
